Life is Good

I know it's been a while, but things are going so good with the Monsen Clan! We can't believe how big Thad is getting. He is crawling like a champ and he has just got a personality of his own. Being his mom is the best thing ever and I can't even imagine life without him.

Just to tell you what we're up to...Brian is so busy with the Masters of Accounting program, but loves it so much! He was born to crunch numbers! I never told everyone that the outcome of his internship in the summer with Deloitte turned into a full-time offer after he graduates in the spring. He won't start until September 2010, but we know we will be in Salt Lake and he has a solid job. We are so grateful for the job security, especially in this crazy economy. He is so excited to work for such a great company!

I'm still staying at home managing the apartment complex and I couldn't ask for anything more perfect for me in my life right now. I get to stay home with Thad and also be such a help to the family financially. I know that for so many new moms, especially when dad is in school, it is so hard to find something that will work for the whole family. Again, we are so blessed to be in the position that we are. The kids haven't given us a hard time (knock on wood) and we get to close the swimming pool in a couple of weeks, so that will take the major responsibility off of my list.

We love Logan a lot right now and we are just trying to make the most of our last year living up here. Sometimes I have put off the impression that I don't love Logan so much, but I know I'm going to miss it next summer when we have to move. We love our ward and it has been so much fun to be up here with my close friends, Bre and Haley. Also Since Kelli has moved up to school it has just been a blast to live so close to her and see her everyday. I have also made some awesome friends from our ward, school and work that I can't imagine not being friends with. Logan is a great place and I would recommend it to anyone!














It's a cute little monster!













We love Aunt Kelli!













Eeeek!

Shelley-Thad is sooo big!!! and so very handsome. I love his chubby cheeks and thighs. I am so happy for how well things are going for you guys. I am glad that you are able to stay at home with Thad. That is such a blessing.
I didn't know that you were the manager at Pine View-that has got to be rough with all those young college kids everywhere. And I just have to tell you that I miss Logan so much and would love to be able to move back there but I don't see that happening.
Glad that you were able to find some time to put up all those fun pics (the first is my favorite-Thad's eyes are sooo blue in it!!).
Miss you and wish you the best-

Shelley--Thad is even cuter than when I did his pics a few months ago. I'd love to see him crawling around. Glad you're doing well!
